HSE moves to allay fears over transfer of breast cancer services

CORK TDs who requested a meeting with cancer tsar Professor Tom Keane over the proposed transfer of breast cancer services to Cork University Hospital (CUH) have been offered a tour of the new ward.

Set for next Monday, the tour is being seen as an attempt by the Health Service Executive (HSE) to allay the fears and concerns of the campaigners.

They are fighting the transfer of the service from the South Infirmary Victoria University Hospital (SIVUH) to CUH.
